• Similarity Ratio
Articles sent to the journal should be scanned with "iThenticate" or "Turnitin" programs. The overall similarity rate should not exceed 20% after removing references, addresses, proper names, chemical compound names and taxon names in biology (scientific names). Each similarity rate should not exceed 5%. The similarity ratio result you will receive from the relevant program must be uploaded to our system in PDF format.

• Reviewers Process
The articles you send to our journal will be examined by our editors in terms of compliance with the template and similarity rate. Articles deemed suitable to be sent to referees by our editors will be sent to at least 2 reviewers . Reviewers  can vote for acceptance, major correction, minor correction, or rejection of the article. If the article has received a major revision or minor revision by a reviewer, the author must make the corrections suggested by the reviewer for the article and upload the corrected version of the article to the system within 1 month at the latest. Changes made in line with the recommendations of the reviewers must be stated in the article. After the author edits the article according to the reviewer's suggestions and sends it back, if the referee casts an acceptance vote and the article receives an acceptance vote by the reviewer majority or union, it will be placed in the publication order according to the acceptance date. If the article receives a rejection vote by the majority or unity of the reviewers, it will be rejected. Double blindness is applied in the reviewer process of our journal. In other words, reviewers cannot see author information and authors cannot see reviewer information.
